Dave,

Could your faceted apples be mounted to a crystal, or optic crystal base?

The reason I ask, is there's a fair amount of copy that needs to be etched on a base. The customer wasn't too keen on a marble base.

What size are the apples? The customer is looking for something very feminine and high-end. At least high-end looking.

Any pics of the apple on your web site?

Thanks,

David,

http://www.glassbydgn.com/product.htm Go to gifts and it is under paperweights. We paid $9 and $13, make us an offer.

This picture is better than the one in the catalog. The smaller one is 2 inchs, the larger is 2.5. Thought we had more, but we have 6 large and 2 small. the both have a flat bottom, so they can be glued.

Hope this helps.

Dave,

Got the email from Lynn, saying the apple is on its way.

$13!! I was hoping you'd charge more.

Oh well. I'll just have to get even with you next time we meet up :-)

Thanks again,

Dave,

The apple showed up today! How did you send that thing? I wasn't expecting it until tomorrow at the soonest!

Talk about service with a smile :-)

Holy Smoke! Thanks again.

That's what we like about FedEx; you pay for 3 day and you get it in 1 or 2 days. UPS has it sit in their terminal when a package get there early.

Dave,

I rarely ship. When I do, it's through UPS.

Sounds like FedEx is worth a second look.

Dave,

The picture of your apple didn't do it justice. The picture looked like a round piece with the stem on top. It's actually a very nice "apple" shape.

I didn't have time to take a pic of the finished product, but it was VERY impressive. The apple was adhered atop a 2.5" crystal cube, which contained the wording.

In your/Lynn's email, you mentioned that you're not stocking the apples anymore because you moved away from the "Apple Capitol of The World."

I'll tell you what - at $13 per apple (your cost) you have a screamin' teachers gift. The award I presented was for a teacher leaving a college.
